De belevenis
Step outside the known and into the wild. In the mountains, there are no walls and no routines.
The expedition blends basecamp life with trail nights. You start in the village of Rassa and walk up to Alpe Selvaccia's secluded valley basecamp — fire circles and meadows beneath Monte Rosa — to ground yourself before going deeper.
Days begin with yoga, breathwork, or a refreshing dip in mountain water. Meals are simple and nourishing, prepared with local, organic produce. Then you head into the Alps for three days carrying only essentials, sleeping under tarps or open sky, cooking together and following the rhythm of the day.
Voor wie dit is
Eerlijk gezegd, zodat je het net zo makkelijk kunt afstrepen als kiezen.
- You want real mountain days, not a soft version of them
- You are content sleeping under a tarp and carrying your own kit
- You want the inner work — solo time, sweat lodge, fire circle — alongside the walking
- You need a bed and a shower every night
- You would rather not carry a full pack for three days

OTRO Elements
Organiseert al 6 jaar belevenissen
OTRO Elements run “nature-based expeditions designed for reflection, deep connection, and the art of letting go”. Their basecamp is Alpe Selvaccia — 22 hectares of alpine meadow and pine forest above Rassa in the Valsesia, with rustic huts, a fire circle, a tipi and a yoga platform looking out at Monte Rosa. They call the facilitator team the Tribe: Quirine, Fenneke, Tjeerd, Marit, Kalijn, Fernanda, Raymond, Robert-Jan, Benny and others, working alongside local Italian hosts and mountain guides.
